Tate Legacy - Short Life Span Legacy

Lucky Brielle's step-grandmother lives in Sulani, and has offered her a place to stay while she finds her feet (we certainly don't have any family money).

On the day of her arrival is Sulani's flower and music festival - the perfect opportunity to meet new people. Unfortunately, Brielle's evil trait makes everyone immediately suspicious of her.

Brielle's dream is to become a wellness expert. She heads to the local spa and advertises her services. Unfortunately, the spa employees seem a bit put out that some n00b is stealing their customers, and in spite of 3 attempts, Brielle is unable to finish a single treatment.

We have better success leading a yoga class just outside.

I've been heavily invested in gen 2 for a while now, but here I am officially handing over the baton - marking off gen 1's greatest achievements, and outlining gen 2 'goals'.

I am randomising everything for this save, using simsrandom.com and rolling dice, spinning a wheel etc. For this save I'm not so interested in completing goals, more living in the general spirit of the character.

Love that Brielle has 'inherited' a love for animals and the evil trait from her mother - given that she's so sugar sweet, the evil trait is a difficult one to imagine for her, so I'm saying that she works hard to keep it at bay, I'll be cancelling any evil interactions asap, and once she develops another trait I'll delete it - two evil sims in a row is a bit much!

Anyway, a farewell breakfast with the fam, and we are Sulani bound 🌴🏖️🩴

Mama Deidre takes Brielle to the spa for her birthday! Brielle loved every second, and I guess she had an epiphany - this is what she wants to do with the rest of her life!!

A little privacy, please...

For Timothy, prom was next level, he is smitten with his date. Brielle's date was a bit of a dud, but winning prom royalty was everything.

I got each sibling to vote for one another, and for someone else - thinking I was even-ing out the odds that they'd win, and they did!

I guess Brielle changed her hair last minute since the previous post. The joy of trendi outfits 🤔

There was no romantic promposal for Brielle - Grant Hecking was hardly going to make the effort, and as if she has the time to make an elaborate sign, between homework, cheerleading and yoga?!

So yeah, they're going together, since she finally caved and asked him. She's living her teenage dream, so she's hardly going to go solo!

Timothy can't turn down an opportunity for mischief - the #ogprankster convinced his mother to go streaking! Well of course, Deidre has never been one to turn down a dare.

He's a softy at heart though, wowing his crush with a very romantic, very public promposal.

Brielle and her cheerleading (group, team, troop?) are not like those cheerleaders you see on TV - they actually care about their grades, ok?

Timothy aged up to a teen. His attitude to school is somewhat different to his sister's...

Brielle loves school. She is living her teenage preppy girl dream. Although she is a cheerleader, her yoga skills are far superior.

So there's nothing to do in this corner of San Sequoia except visit the food truck... I even struggled to find seating.

Even more rabbit holes would have been fine!!

Brielle finally learned to ride a bike after a long and glitchy struggle. We never once succeeded in recruiting help from an adult (why?!).

Brielle was thrilled to hand her bike over to Timothy, and maybe feels a little gloaty, watching him experience the same glitches.

A farewell meal in Sulani is the usual chaos. All the Sims that I wasn't directly controlling kept running off for a swim.

I realised just in time we had three birthdays to celebrate, Timothy aged up to a teen, and Deidre and Kyle to elders! Gen 1 is nearly over 🥺

I love that Father Winter visits on Winterfest Eve in this save ❤️

The toddler gift bug makes me so mad!! (I actually searched this and found someone saying they think it might be linked to them not having a high enough communication skill, but that's still really annoying).
